Why did the matter involve An Lingyi again?

The old mistress pursed her lips, displeasure flashing across her aged eyes.

Aunt Wei also came over, and upon hearing that, she laughed, "Old madam, I think that there's something fishy about this Immortal Crane. Why don't we return to your courtyard first and send some people to investigate this matter."

A few years ago, she was suppressed by the Aunt Li to the point where she had no choice but to hide in a side courtyard to survive. However, under the eyes of the Aunt Li, she raised her own child safely.

After thinking about everything that had happened today, he had a rough idea.

First, the Aunt Li said that she saw the red-crowned crane at Qingfeng Courtyard, luring the old mistress over to take a look. The old mistress was overjoyed, and what she saw was the red-crowned crane corpse.

Then, the servants and guards reported that they had seen An Lingge pass by, but when they asked inside the Parasol House, An Lingge was actually called out by An Lingyi.

brought An Lingge out. The mother and daughter pair must have some tricks up their sleeves.

The old mistress felt that she was being reckless today.

It was only a red-crowned crane, even if it had died in her courtyard, she should not have brought her people to Little Ge's place as if she wanted to interrogate him for her crimes.

Why would the Aunt Li watch as the Old Mistress left?

She threw a fierce look at Aunt Wei and smiled at the Old Mistress.

"Madam, we've already arrived at Eldest Miss's courtyard. Why don't we have someone bring Eldest Miss back? It would be better if you could ask for an answer than if someone had wronged her."

Aunt Li was truly worthy of being a person who grasped great authority in the back courtyard of Prince An's Palace. She clearly wished for nothing more than to give An Lingge a reputation of a Heaven Destroyer, yet the words that came out of her mouth were all for An Lingge's own good, causing him to be unable to find any flaws.

Aunt Wei was anxious, but she did not dare show it. She only secretly grabbed onto the handkerchief in her hands and prayed that An Lingge was not tricked by the mother and daughter pair.

The old lady then nodded her head, and instructed the nanny beside her, "Go and call the young miss here."

She paused for a moment and thought about what the maid had said before saying, "If Third Miss is also here, then call Third Miss as well."

Since he had to get to the bottom of this, naturally, he had to ask An Lingyi about this as well.

The maidservant acknowledged the order and quickly walked out.

At this time, An Lingge was walking back, and met the servant. After hearing her general story, she then followed her.

"Big Sister's maidservant is really clever."

An Lingyi was already prepared. Seeing that An Lingge's servant had actually explained everything clearly and said that the Aunt Li did not come with good intentions, she could not help but say this in a weird tone.

But no matter how clever An Lingge's servant was, or how she warned An Lingge to be on guard, An Lingge would still obediently give birth to the Heavenly Calamity Lonely Star today.

An Lingge's bright black eyes swept over them indifferently, and her expression was a little cold. "Third Sister probably doesn't know, but this servant followed Master."

The reason why her servant was smart was because she was smart too; why An Lingyi's maid was stupid was naturally because of An Lingyi.

On the surface, her words did not sound like a problem, but she was ridiculing An Lingyi for being so stupid.

An Lingyi's hypocritical smile froze on her face, and her heart was filled with endless hatred.

If not to lure An Lingge over, she would not have accompanied An Lingge in acting!

However, when he thought that An Lingge would be left out in the mud in a short while after being left out of disgust by the others in the manor with an ominous mark, An Lingyi forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart, and maintained her fake smile.

"What Big Sister said is right. These maids are all children from our Duke Mansion. It is only natural for me to learn a lot of things from my father to be more quick-witted."

Didn't An Lingge say that this servant would follow master? The most legitimate master in the entire Prince An's Palace was her father, not an orphan girl like her, whose birth mother had passed away long ago.

She wanted to mock herself for being stupid, but it wouldn't be that easy.

An Lingge never planned to argue with her, and the reason she had mocked An Lingyi just now was also because he could not watch her acting so intimate and wanted to drag her out.

Seeing that An Lingyi had won, An Lingge nodded indifferently, then followed the servant into the Parasol House.

Just as she reached the Parasol House's door, she heard a long sigh, "An unknown person!"

The speaker was a Daoist in a brand-new Daoist attire. His face was clean and full of compassion, and he looked at An Lingge as if she were a pitiful person.

His voice was not soft, and his words brought forth the madame who was in the courtyard.

The Aunt Li followed behind the madame.

The old mistress was surprised to see a man she did not recognize, and then she became angry, "Who are you? Why did it appear here? "

This is An Lingge's courtyard, why is this Taoist here?

Moreover, she felt that this Daoist Priest was very unfamiliar. Could it be that some thief was pretending?

The old mistress' expression was stern, and the servants on the side had already made their preparations. They were waiting for the old mistress to give the order to capture the Daoist priest.

However, the Daoist Priest didn't panic at all when he heard the madame's words. He still had a pitiful expression on his face. "This must be the madame from your estate."

He bowed towards the madame and said, "I travel everywhere. A few days ago, I stopped at the capital and heard that there were many calamities occurring today. That was why I was invited to come and take a look."

Aunt Li then told her about encountering a bandit, saying that she was the one who sent people to invite that Taoist. Firstly, she was to cast spells on the mansion to bring misfortune upon it, and secondly, she was to take a look at the mansion's feng shui, to see if there was anything wrong with it.

This explanation was reasonable, and the madame was relieved.

However, she still had some doubts, "Earlier, you said that Eldest Miss was an ominous person. What exactly did you mean by that?"

"Literally." The Daoist priest looked a little sad but also a little serious, "The First Miss' fate is unknown, she is the lone star of the apocalypse, your kin and your husband. How pitiful."

Her expression was sharp, and her pair of old eyes carried a sense of dignity, "Do you know what you are saying? Slandering our young miss Prince An's Palace, you must be guilty of quite a heinous crime."

"This is just the truth. If the old mistress believes it, then I shall pass the method of breaking the formation to her. If she doesn't, then I shall leave now."

Just as he was about to leave, the Aunt Li stopped him.

Why aren't you angry, Taoist Priest? We, the Old Madam, have never heard of your reputation, so it is normal to suspect you momentarily. Why don't I introduce you to the Old Madem Xiang?
